Mickey Rooney Quotes

Mickey Rooney (September 23, 1920 – April 6, 2014) was an American actor of film, television, Broadway, radio, and vaudeville. Beginning as a child actor, his career continued nearly nine decades until shortly before his death, making him one of the most enduring performers ever. He appeared in more than 300 films and was one of the last surviving stars of the silent film era, with one of the longest careers in the medium’s history.
At the height of a career that was marked by precipitous declines and raging comebacks, Rooney played the role of Andy Hardy in a series of fifteen films in the 1930s and 1940s that epitomized American family values. A versatile performer, he could sing, dance, clown and play various musical instruments, and became a celebrated character actor later in his career.
